FOOLISH FUTILE.

Gen. FUTILE, of the Iowa G.. A. r..
has succeeded in making most egreg-
rl0uS ass of himself. His intimation
that President CLEVELAND. should he
visit st. Louis at the time of the G.. A.
Il. encampment, would be practically
drummed out of the city, is an impudent
insult to every veteran of the war.
Whatever foolish TUTTLE'S inclination
may be, the soldiers who fought during
the late war are altogether too courteous
to treat guest, even though that guest
were not the president, with inSolent
disrespect. And it is not at all certain
that many members of the Grand Army
share the views of the fellow FUTILE
regarding the veto of the pauper pen
sions bill, that being the cause of his
ldlOtic TRADE. Indeed certain posts
have indorSed his action. 1t may even
be found upon investigation that Tut
TIES indignation was inspired as much
through his failure to receive some Of
flee for which he was an applicant. as it
was by his righteous anger at CLEyE-
LANDS refusal to stamp the valiant
veterans with the stigma of paupers.
The incident has simply given an Iowa
crank, who would otherwise have never
been heard of beyond his limited circle,
an opportunity to enjoy brief notoriety.
When his absurd declarations become
generally known, it is more than likely
that he, rather than the president, will
be drummed out of the city by the vet
Grams who will encamp in st. Louis

What the Committee Did.

Fully 800 men must have been per-
Suaded to leave their work abruptly
yesterday, and this number with the
1000 union men who had struck for nine
hours on Wednesday, makes 1900.
Many union men are working, but quit
promptly every day at 5 p. m. The sec
retary, Christian Blakely, read the re-
ports of the North st. Paul committee
who brought in 100 men from North st.
Paul, about S5 of whom had been
working for G. j. Grant, and the bal
ance for Fin Reardon and others. The
committee sent to the Union stock yards
i'll South st. Paul, reported that men
were quitting on different jobs rapidly,
and the St. Anthony hill cOmmitte that
all the men were striking on the smaller
jobs, while most of the larger contracts
were already idle and waiting for car
penterS to come to work. Other reports
were:
Mississippi Street Committee-The
men employed by Ouken & Acklin, of
$40 Mississippi street. had all quit.
st. Peter Street COmmittee-The fore
man and men had all quit work on one
job, and two of Mark Costello's men
had been induced to go on a'strike.
Pleasant Avenue Committee-Ten of
Kingsley IL Spencer'S men on one job
had quit. and the foreman would quit at
night, but as it was payday he wanted
to finish the day until he got his pay.
Rice Street Committee-FOur of
Rondy'S men came out, one of Om-
joher's, but A. Nippolt & Bro. had
granted the demands of the union.
East Seventh Street Committee-Ten
men working for Hennesey Brothers,
Agnaw & Cox, upon the Ryan hotel
annex, had been persuaded to stop work,
leaving only two men working there.
West Seventh street Com mittee-Two
of Gronewold's S men had joined the strik-
ers, but that Donnecker Bros, had
yielded to the union, this firm stating
that it would give full pay for nine
hours work to union men, but would
pay nOn-union men whatever Mr.. Don
necher saw fit; also twenty-five men in
the employ of Corlies, Chapman 6S
Drake at Seven corners had left work,
and that Contractor Gleinschmidt in
formed the committee that he was in
sympathy with the union.
St. Paul daily globe., 1887-06-07
These Have Yielded.

Following were the contractors, who
were said to have acceded to the de-
mands of the union: Shickler & Will
son, of 27 East Sixth street; A. Nippolt
& Bro, of 622 Jackson; Christian E.
Gaefke, William Baumeister, Donnecker
Bros, Gleinschmidt, Harrington & En-
glebrecht and George Hofer. With the
exception of A. NippOlt & Bro. and
Harrington & Englebrecht, all
these are comparatively small con-
tractors, Schickler 81 Wilson, being
wood and iron fence manufacturers.
Corlies, Chapman & Drake were re-
ported to be neutral and Timothy Rear
don, George j. Grant and Taylor &
Craig were said to be the most bitter
antagonists of the move. Some of Fitz-
patrick's men are already employed on
the nine-hour principle. A union man
states that Taylor & Craig had said they
would go out of business before
they would give in. Additional
reports came in during the late
part of the afternoon. 1t was said that
100 of Grants men had struck, leav-
ing only two men on his jobs at
North st. Paul, that M. P. Ryan's men

LAND TENIIRE

A correspondent, who evidently has a
leaning toward HENRY GEORGES land
theories, takes exception to the GLOBES
editorial Of yesterday respecting the
Land Doctrines of Jesus" and chal-
lenges us to show that He held views in
accord with land tenure as it exists to-
day. We might very well content our
selves with giving counter challenge
to- Mr.. GEORGE Or any of his adherents
to show that JESUS CHRIST taught any
doctrine at any time at variance with
the existing system of land titles in this
country. The right of private property
is as old as human society. The right
of individuals to hold land in severaltv
is certainly as old as the days of ABRA-
HAM. 1t is right that has always been
recognized and respected by the Chris
tan church. The system of private land
tenure may have its abuses, but that is
no argument against the righteousness
OF the system. Our correspondent says:
ut would be great revelation if the
GLOBE would show that JESUS came to
build up system which drives men
from their homes, as in the coal regions
of our own land of the free: system
which deprives men of the right to live
On the earth, that patrimony which the
St. Paul daily globe., 1887-06-07

and the owneS of city prop
erty accordingly suffer. Not only
that, but the demand is not so great.
The time has gone by when people
were willing to pay almost any price
for an abiding place, because the eli
max of sudden growth has been
reached, and, instead of the railroad
rate of progress, there must henceforth
be only the natural accretiOnS warranted
by existing conditions and circum-
stances. 1t would be too much to say
that Chicago's growth has ceased, but it
is pretty surely so that her boom period
has passed, even if the landlords can
not recognize it. There could be no
surer indications of the fact than the
multitude of empty houses COM
planned of.
In st. Paul the case is exactly oppo-
site. Here the process of remarkable
growth is still going on. 1t is, unless all
signs fail, a distant point in the future
when it will be checked, for the country
tributary to st. Paul and Minneapolis
is growing with even greater rapid
ity. The demand for houses, therefor,
exceeds the supply, and hardly single
desirable residence is to be found va
cant, while owners are enabled to exact
rents almost twice that to be obtained in
cities of equal size which have attained
the maximum of their growth. The fact
is an infaliible indication of the city's
solidity and prosperity, even though it
may be stubborn one for the new
conner to face. People can hardly be
blamed for accepting large percentage
upon their investments when they can
get it, but no one will regret the time
when the rush of capital into the city to
reap the benefit of such profitable in
veStment becomes so great that a six
per cent. rental will be regarded as both
reaSonabl ,"Ind acceptable.
But even at high rents it is far better
to have every house filled than to have
many vacant, though the rental asked is
low

REID'S BAD BREAK.
He Gave the Enemy a Point AbooI
Rosecrans' Telegraph Lines.

He Gave the Enemy Point About
Rosecrans' Telegraph Lines.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-In conversa-
tion with friends, this evening, Gen.
Rosecrans told good story, which
ought ought not be lost. He said: When
l was working my way through West
Virginia, in 1861, young Whitelaw Reid
was with the army as correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Gazette. He was very
bright young fellow and we all liked
him. He was ObSerVant, too, and keen
as q hawk. The peculiarities of the
people were noted by him, and he wrote
the Gazette long letter in which he
said: 1.-The people of West Virginia are
ignorant, dull and stupid. For example
Of this, Gen. Rosecrans has 10 miles of
telegraph, and none of them has COM
mon sense enough to cut it." .'When l
saw that letter." says Gen. R0secrans,
Il was utterly amazed. / called the
young man to me and asked him why he
wrote it, and he replied that he wrote
it because he believed every word Of it
was true. When l eXpostulated with
him about the reference to my
telegraph line. he said he could see
nothing wrong about it. l then said:
y y
sent word direct word to Richmond, tell
ing the rebels of my lines, and asking
them to cut the wires" He could still
see nothing wrong in it, and declared
that no harm could come OF it. then
quietly folded the paper so that no one
could see what paper it was, and walked
into the tent of my judge advocate gen
eral, and asked him his opinion of the
article. Whiteiaw was beside me and
listened. After reading the article, and
not knowing its authorship, the judge
advocate wheeled around, and said
Gen. RoSecranS, the author of that az
ticle should be shot at once.' turned
and went to my tent without saying
word. That night Whitelaw Reid left
our army, and [ never saw him again
until after the war. thought that he
was offended with me, but if he was, he
never has shown it. He has always
written and spoken kindly of me. l
liked him, for he was a good fellow and
very bright; but he made an awful
blunder OF that matter. My wires were
cut soon afterwards.
St. Paul daily globe., 1887-06-07

Father said He created for all man
kind" The GLOBE does not propose to
show any such thing, nor is it necessary
to show it in support of the doctrine of
private land ownership. The oppres-
sions which our correspondent refers to
are the result of abuses which have
grown up under the pernicious Repub
lican doctrine of protection. The GLOBE
and the Democratic party are following
the example JESUS set in Jerusalem
when he drove the extortionerS and the
monopolists from the temple. If Mr..
GEORGE and his folks are really anX-
ious to accomplish genuine land re-
form the best thing for them to do is to
aid the Democratic party in crushing
out monopoly and in wrestling the pub
lie domain from the corporations who
have filched it, and restoring it to the
people to whom it rightfully belongs.

TROUBLE FOR P0WDERLy.

1t is to be hoped that there is 10 truth
in the report that Mr.. PowDERLY's enc
mics intend to make trouble for him at
the annual convention of the Knights
OF Labor, which meets in Minneapolis
in the fall. Or, if the rumor is true, it
would certainly be in the highest degree
unfortunate should their schemes look
ing to his overthrow, succeed.
Mr. PoWDERLY has the confidence of
the country in marked degree, and
under his administration the order over
which he presides has made greater
progress and occupied wider field of
usefulness than ever before in its his
tory. He has kept it free from political
entanglementS and directed it in the
way OF wise conservatism. Should the
leadership Of the organization fall into
the hands of men who represent di-
rectly different line of policy from
that which PowDERLY has always aG-
vocated the direst mischance might be-
fall. Scheming politicians might make
use OF the order for their personal ends.
conservatism might give way to perni-
cious radicalism and needless impulsive-
ness take the place of judicious caution.
And yet it might be that just as good a
man as Mr.. PowDERLY would be chosen
III his place. There is no surety of it,
however. Matters have gone well under
the present leadership; it is impossible
to tell just how they would be were it
changed, and change, therefore, would
be in the highest degree unwise.
The Minneapolis convention will be
awaited with great interest, but it can
do nothing that will meet with more
general disapproval than the deposition
of POWDERIY.

How Converts Are Made.

Before the afternoon meeting ad-
Journed new visiting committees of
from ten to twelve men each were ap-
pointed for further missionary work,
which are to report to the union at a.
IN. to-day. These committees go out
and hang around the jobs and take
every every opportunity to get at and
talk to the men. If they
can't go upon the premises they
eaten the men going to or coming from
work: The non-uniOn men who are
working are pretty timid, and don't
like to be seen by the "bosses" talking
to the striking visitors, so that the
work OF making converts is rather diff
cult. Secretary Blakeley says he doesn't
know how long the strike will last,
but that it will last until the demands
OF the union are granted. He says in the
Eastern states and Canada and on the
Pacific coast the nine-hour system has
been generally adopted, and that car
penters are warned to s'steer clear of
the following cities: Pasadena, Cal. {;
Quincy. ILL.,; st. Louis, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Boston, Canton, o.:

quested special notice warning carpen-
tiers from st. Paul be published.

A TIMELY WARNING.
Agents and Spectators Said to be

To the Editor of the Glnha

| Agents and Spectators Said to be
Selling Government Lands.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Please permit space in your in
dependent journal to call the at
tentiOn of your readers to the letter
of the honorable secretary of the
interior to the president of the
United States, reyOking indemnity
Withdrawals of railroad land grants, al
lowing the companies a specified time
to take so much land as they are justly
entitled to, and the remainder to be
restored to the public domain. 1t is said
by parties in a position to know, that
there were 25,000,000 acres OF land in
these Withdrawals more than the land
grants are entitled to; and in the mean
time the agents and emisSaries of the
railroad companies are selling the lands
that are withdrawn in excess, which be-
long to the government, whenever they
can induce innocent parties to purchase.
The local newspapers in this vicinity,
for reasons best known to themselves,
haven't printed the letter of the Secre-
tary of the interior to the president, nor
deigned to notice it, and the result is
that the legaliZed swindlerS will have
an opportunity to chuckle over their
lllgOtten gains, Wrung from the sweat
and blood of their innocent victims, by
taking their money and selling them
lands which belong to, the government.
1t is to be hoped that the commissioner
of the general land office will, at an
early date, make report of the status
of the st. Paul d Sioux City railroad in
demnity lands in the state of Minnesota,
and protect the honest settler from the
Vaccinations and rascality of unscrup-
ulous men. While every fair-minded
person should be desirous that the rail
road corporations will get every acre of
land that they are honestly entitled to,
yet it does not follow that the interior
department should silently look on and
see hundreds of thousands of acres of
the public domain stolen and sold to in
nOcent victims by these already over
paid corporations. Now, that the secre-
tary of the interior has taken hold of
this matter, the people can rest assured
that the public and private interests
will be equally protected, and that
henceforth railroad monopolies will
have to take back seat in the interest
of justice and fair dealing Very re-
spectfully, P.B. DEVY.

SHORT ACQUAINTANCEs.
Some People Who Stopped at st
Paul Hotels Yesterday.

fau dOCe1S eStGrday.
A. E. Touzalin was at the Ryan yes
terday fresh from the refined at
| mOsphere of Boston. Mr.. TouZalin is
not an unimportant parsonage in the
business circles of the East and figures
cOnspicuously in the railroad interests
of the Northwest, for he is president of
the Burlington & Northern road and
was especially instrumental in bringing
that enterprlSing line to st. Paul. He
arrived at the Ryan yesterday morning
accompanied by r. X. Watson, his Dri
yate secretary, and spent the greater part
of the day i'll looking over the CITY and
consulting with prominent railroad men.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. TouZalin was
found at the Ryan suffering somewhat
from the heat, but gradually cooling
himself Off with a broad palm leaf fan.
He is an affable man to meet, but does
not toss off bits of information with that
abandon that is so hugely enjoyed by
newspaper representatives.
Il am here on my way to attend a
meeting OF the managers of the road at
La Crosse" he said, and beyond that
all efforts to discover the information
locked up in his breast were futile. He
spoke of st. Paul and the enterprise
shown by her citizens in building and
iihPAOf ehS Nily tliC liioSb SlOWIilS
terms, but when the question of what
extensions or Improvements the
Burlington people proposed to make in
this country was approached, he would
cleverly turn the drift of conversation
without committing himself. The
GLOBE reporter touched the matter of
politics and in this subject found that
the railroad magnate was almost as non
committal as on the subject of railroad
ing. ''I'm not a Politician" he said,
when vote l usually cast my ballot on
the Republican side of the house. For
president l don't know as have any
preferences, well defined, now. If a
good man is found l shall support him
gladly. / don't think Mr.. Blaine wants
the nomination in 'sS. and l don't know
as he could get it if he did. Mr.. Sher-
man is good man, but 1 don't know
whether the Republicans could find a
stronger man in the ranks or not. If
we must have Democratic president
another term, Mr.. Cleveland suits me as
well as anybody"
A few questions on the interstate
commerce bill were asked Mr.. Touza-
lin, but he avoided them in such a way

st. Peter, had all quit except the fore
man, and that all Harding's men, cor
ner Tenth and st. Peter, and all Ole
WalbOy's had gone out. Somebody re-
ported that the foreman and forty men,
employed by contractor named
Welkin, OH st. Anthony hill had
thrown up their job, and that twenty
five men left Gronewold Bros. Also
BassfOrd at Central park went out.
There was something discouraging in
the tale that the foreman on doc"
Bergman's building, corner of Franklin
and Sixth, had threatened to split the
heads of any of the visiting committee
that showed up around there after p.
M, and another story was to the effect
that Taylor, of Taylor & Craig, appeared
with 2x4 scantling at noon at the Rice
street car barns and drove the commit
